Rom 1:17 · Douay-Rheims
“For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith.”
On this verse:
“For the justice of God. He does not here mean that justice, by which God is just in himself, but that justice, or sanctification, which he communicates to men, and by which they are justified and sanctified. — From faith to faith. That is, by faith, and an increase in faith, inasmuch as, by increasing in faith, we advance in virtues; as it is written, (Habacuc ii. 4.) the just man liveth by faith; including the love of God, hope, and other virtues. (Witham)”
